Sundays are starting to belong to the Badgers.

With the sustain success of Wisconsin’s football program over the last decade-plus, plenty of former Badgers athletes are getting the chance to compete at the professional level. By our unofficial count, 32 former Badgers are on either an active roster, injured reserve or practice squad of an NFL team.

Here are some of their highlights from week three of the NFL season

J.J. Watt, DE, Houston Texans

Derek Watt, FB, Pittsburgh Steelers

T.J. Watt, LB, Pittsburgh Steelers

For just the fourth time in NFL history, three brothers played in the same game, a cool moment and memory for the Watt family. The Steelers (3-0) prevailed with a 28-21 comeback home victory over Houston (0-3) in part because T.J.’s pressure. He finished with just four tackles but had two tackles for loss, an 11-yard sack and four quarterback hurries on Houston’s Deshaun Watson. T.J. played 39 of Pittsburgh’s 47 defensive snaps while Derek played seven offensive snaps and nine special teams reps.

J.J. was on the field considerably more, playing 72 of the 80 defensive plays, and registered four tackles.

In eight previous NFL seasons, Russell Wilson – despite many statistically impressive seasons and no losing records - has never received a first place Most Valuable Player vote. That will likely change this season. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback delivered another dazzling performance with 315 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in a home victory over Dallas (it would have been six touchdowns if not for a bone-headed fumble by wide receiver DK Metcalf). He went 27-for-40 passing, had a quarterback rating of 130.7 and rushed for 22 yards.

Wilson raised his season total to 14 TD passes, most ever after three games as it surpasses the mark that the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes had (13) in 2018. Mahomes won the MVP that season.
